Introduction: Designing Your Own H-Cord

Tinkercad Projects »

Hello everyone, today we are going to design an H-Cord for the purpose of securely transporting phone chargers.

Supplies:

  • 3d Printer
  • Computer
  • Pla Filament
  • SuperGlue
  • Nitrile Gloves

Step 1: AutoCad

Design the H-Cord with these cuts. (These cuts were made through TinkerCad)

Step 2: Ultimaker Cura

Convert the Tinkercad model into an STL file and send it to Ultimaker Cura to 3dPrint.

Step 3: Ultimaker Cura: Print Rectangles

(LengthxWidthxHeight)mm

Left and Right Rectangle Dimensions:

10x30x28


Top and Bottom Rectangle Dimension:

10x20x28


Middle Rectangles:

Left Middle (11.5x30x11)

Middle Middle (29.5x30x9)

Right Middle (11x30x11)

Convert to STL file and print through Ultimaker Cura. (I recommend printing them seperately.)

Step 4: SuperGlue

Use Nitrile Gloves when handling Super Glue!

Glue the rectangle pieces in each hole as specified by the pictures.

Step 5: Enjoy!
